Agility

In order to negotiate potential abnormal/adverse conditions that may be encountered on a search mission, the canine must have specific skills and overcome some of its natural instincts. The canine should be able to approach such conditions in a calm and controlled manner and negotiate obstacles without physical aide from its handler.

VSRDA does not require K9s to win Agilitycompetitions. Instead, we focus on the sound-ness of a dog, and the ability to use all 4 feet independently and approach obstacles with confidence that comes from experience.
